This is a pure software signal. You do not need firmware support. Idea is the following : Your driver gets a train of messages, coming from upper layers (TCP, IP, qdisc) It can know that a packet is not the last one, by looking at skb->xmit_more. Basically, aggregation logic could use this signal as a very clear indicator you got the end of a train -> force the xmit right now. To disable gso you would have to use : ethtool -K wlan1 gso off -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
